Locations of moss bed quadrats at Antarctic Specially Protected Area 135 and Robinson Ridge, Windmill Islands, Antarctica

The data are comprised of a spreadsheet with locations (latitude and longitude) of the centres of moss bed quadrats and labels for the quadrats. The quadrats are located at two sites: Antarctic Specially Protected Area 135 near Casey and on Robinson Ridge south of Casey.The letter in the quadrat label indicates the vegetation community type: B for Bryophyte, T for Transitional and L for Lichen. The numeral indicates the transect number.The latitudes and longitudes were obtained by Diana King, PhD candidate, School of Biological Sciences, University of Wollongong on 29 October 2014. See the Quality section of this record for the procedure used.The locations are shown in maps 14450 and 14451 in the SCAR Map Catalogue (see Related URLs).These locations supersede the quadrat locations which are a subset of the data described by the metadata record 'Moss beds at Casey: detailed map of experimental sites', Entry ID: ASAC_1313_Casey_Moss_Map_2003.

本数据集包含一份电子表格，收录了苔藓床样方中心点的地理位置（纬度与经度）以及样方分类标签。该批样方分布于两处点位：凯西站周边的南极特别保护区135（Antarctic Specially Protected Area 135），以及凯西站以南的罗宾逊岭（Robinson Ridge）。样方标签中的字母代表植被群落类型：B对应苔藓植物（Bryophyte）群落，T对应过渡型群落，L对应地衣（Lichen）群落；数字则代表样带编号。上述经纬度数据由伍伦贡大学（University of Wollongong）生物科学学院的博士候选人戴安娜·金（Diana King）于2014年10月29日采集获取，具体采样流程详见本记录的数据质量章节。样方点位标注于南极研究科学委员会（Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research, SCAR）地图目录的14450号与14451号地图中（详见相关链接）。本次发布的点位数据替代了此前元数据（metadata）记录《凯西站苔藓床：实验点位详细地图》（条目ID：ASAC_1313_Casey_Moss_Map_2003）中所描述的子集样方点位数据。
